In Loving Memory of Kaliya Marie Sullivan

Please don't cry.
I didn't mean to die,
I tried to stay,
But the Angels came
I heard them call my name.

I only followed,
I just wanted to see,
If their wings suited me.

It was fun,
I wanted to play,
I didn't know
I'd have to stay.

I am really sorry
I have made you sad,
If only I could make you see

You'd be so proud of how well I fly
I didn't even have to try
A born natural,
Or so I'm told.

Even though I'm not very old.
I've got a job,
And I like it too.
I'm the angel watching over you.
